Today's The Day For Federal Taxes

April 15, 2009|By Daily Press

Time's up.

It's April 15 and time to file your federal income tax return.

You don't get extra hours this year: All Hampton Roads post offices will close at 5 p.m. today, though there are a few drop boxes throughout the region with later pickups. The regional mail facility at 600 Church St. in Norfolk will accept mail until midnight.

The deadline to file state taxes is May 1.

If you need more time, you can apply for an automatic six-month extension of time by filling out Form 4868. The form is available online at ww.irs.gov. An extension does not grant an extension of time to pay your tax liability.

CUZ HE'S THE TAX MAN

Gloucester: Noon-2 p.m., Old Gloucester County Courthouse at 6467 Main St.
